I bought this saturn based on their reputation. What a mistake! The car has been in the shop on a regular basis. It is underpowered, gets poor gas mileage and I have taken a beating on the cars depreciation. Will never buy another Saturn or GM product. I am going back to either a Honda or Toyota.

Great buying experience. Fantastic service department. Have done nothing but general maintenance and don't expect too for a long, long time. I also get better mileage than the window sticker shows as average!

Bought my Saturn new. Within 3 months it had coolant leaks. On my 5th set of tires at 64K, 1st set at 15K, and I called Saturn to complain about the tire situation while still in warranty and they didn't seem to want to help me. All the door locks, window controls, cruise control, power mirrors and heater needed replacing. The A/C does not work. It seems like there is always something going wrong with the car. It's a piece of junk and I regret ever purchasing it.

108,000 miles and still going.

I got to admit my Saturn maybe on the plain side of styling, but this car as sure kept me going from point a to b and so on. I have 108,000 plus on my car and majority of the car is original. IE battery and stuff like that... I have only had 2 sets of break pads in the front real original to the car. All in all for an American car its done very well, No leaks or anything like that. But I am starting to have a few problems with my front end. That’s to be expected living now in Massachusetts and when sometimes there are more pot holes and ruts in the road then there is actual road, Doing 65 on mass highways (I-93) will damage any cars front end (pot hole city). But overall a good car!

Over all I am very happy with my l100. I had an l200 as a rental car for 2 weeks and loved it. My wife and I went with the 100 Special edition. It gave all the goodies of the l200 minus power windows, rear disc brakes and height adjusting driver seat for $2000+ less. It also included mags and a rear wing.. big plus for me. Saturn needs to improve the quality of the seat fabric.... bit on the cheesey side, and i dont know how long it will hold up. The sales experience was awesome. No compalints about the sales team. Friendly from start to finish. Ive been spoiled by it, and would buy from Saturn again because of it.
